HOW DOES THE DETECTION WINDOW FOR ORAL FLUID TESTING COMPARE WITH OTHER METHODS?Like traditional urine testing, the window in oral fluid testing is different for each drug. Of most significance is that oral fluid testing identifies recent usage - during the first four hours after drug use - that can be missed by urine testing. For most drugs, the window of detection in oral fluid is about 24 hours, with some donors it can be 48 hours. By contrast, urine testing relies on drug metabolites retained in the body's waste supply and will consistently detect drugs for two to three days?

HOW SOON AFTER USE CAN A DRUG BE DETECTED IN SALVA?Oral fluid testing can detect drugs in the saliva within 10 minutes of ingestion. Typical detection times for all oral fluid drug screenings are 24-36 hours. For some donors it can be up to 48 hours. Also see the Oral Fluid Lab Test page for addtional FAQ's.
